Liberal Party of Ireland

The Liberal Party of Ireland was a liberal political party in Ireland that existed during the early 20th century. Directly influenced by the UK Liberal Party, the Irish Liberal Party advocated for government intervention in politics instead of state capitalism, the only notable difference between the two parties. 11.2% of the Irish public supported the Liberal Party, just .1% less than the rival Independent Opposition Party, the farther-left liberal party. The two parties often worked together, and with Sinn Fein, to attempt parliamentary victories in the Dail Eireann, but they could only muster up 28% of the vote, while the Conservative Party of Ireland had 57.7% of the vote.
